6th Annual Don’s Prediction League
 

2011 SEASON

CONGRATS TO THE 2010 DON’S PREDICTION LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

Hey Everyone
With the lockout almost over it's that time of year, training camp it's around the corner and the first preseason game it's a month away. So, it's time invite you guys to my 6th Annual Don's Prediction League.

Well, as most of you know for previous years, I do a Predictions Column in the board every week during the season that I post here and on other sites, after a few years of doing it, some members started challenge me that they could do a better job than me, so after taking all the trash talk I decided to put any member that wanted to challenge me, up to the test and created this league.

This is a FREE league I run for FUN, where we all face against each other like fantasy football, It's really easy and entertaining, it also can help you get better in your own analysis if you're a betting man like myself. Or, if you're just a competitive person, and like to prove you're the BIG dog against other Rival Fans, this is the league for you.

I'm not here to promote any betting site, or my own web page or anything like that, this is just for members that bet and already make their own predictions and want to get better at it or prove how good they are, I do this for fun and competition to put something else to the season.

We have Bloggers fans from Dallas, Washington, Arizona, New Orleans, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Miami, San Diego, Baltimore and Denver, we don't have Eagles fans just because I don't want to deal with all their nonsense LOL.

Ok so here is how it works, each week I send via e-mail to all the league members the Games of the week with the Vegas Lines for those games. Each member then has to pick in three different ways each game.

Straight up.- who's going to win the game it doesn't matter if it 's NE vs MIN you only pick who you think is going to win. For example most people here would pick NE

Spread.- each week Vegas gives a spread of points to keep matches on an even level example.- NE vs MIN because NE is so likely to win and possibly big Vegas might give Minnesota 10 points in-favor. That means that if you picked NE, for you to win not only NE has to win the game but has to beat Minnesota for more than 10 points (NE 27- MIN 10), so if you don't think NE can win by 10 points it's a better bet to take Min because even if they lose as long as they don't lose by more than 10 you win (NE 27 MIN 20) In the last example even if Min lost the game if you picked Min for the Spread you Won.

Over/Under.- Also each week Vegas puts a line of how many points between both team are going to make and you have to pick if they going to score more points between them that what Vegas placed or less. example.- let's take the same game NE vs MIN and Vegas place a Ovr/und line of 48 you know NE has an excellent team and it's going to score some points to MIN, because of this, if you believe that between them they're easily going to score 48 point in that case you select Ovr so if the score is NE 37 - MIN 17 =37+17= 54 you win. but maybe you think yeah NE might score a lot of points but there's no way MIN can score against NE. in that case you take the under NE 37 - MIN 3 = 37+3= 40 You win.

So, at the end of the week we take all the picks (selections) that each member had right per game and we add it to his score, I send that weeks results and the season results each week and by the end of the year the one with the better record wins.

We have had pretty good member's the past 5 years some with a above 60% Straight up record and 58% record against the spread that's better than most Vegas experts.
Anyway it's a lot of fun, especially if you think you're better than most so call experts out there.

Our last Year's winners came from thewarpath.net (Mlmpetert) and detroitlionsforum.com (Sparty)

The winner Not only gets bragging rights for 1 year in all the boards I post my columns but a Prize:
1st place will get any item they want from the NFL Shop or their Team shop for no more than $25+shipment or a donation to their team forum for the same amount in their name.

This year we will also do a Pre Season Mock league so any newcomer or member that feels a little rusty can get some practice without affecting their record.

So, if you would like to join write in this thread or send me a PM all I need is your email that we're going to use, Screen Name and First name to know who you are.

How many participants did you have last year Don?

25 papz I hope I can get it up to 40 this year

He's back for his annual post. Good Luck!

Funny

Weekly post be precise

I don't get why some members complain? u got enough Saints members writing about Saints stuff everyday whats wrong about somebody writing about something NFL related and a little Saints related?...

Because you're not here to talk Saints football. Your post should probably be in the NFL section. Try that.

Looks and smells familiar


6th Annual Don’s Prediction League - DetroitLionsForum.com

it is the same don't you read who won last year it was a member of the detroitlionsforum.

That's the whole point compete against memebers from different boards

I enjoy reading your predictions but they probably belong in the NFL forum.

A lot of people on a lot of boards don't really like your "the Don" threads. That was my point. Others may disagree. Enjoy your weekend Don.

Don... I'm not giving you a hard time. I'm just making fun at your expense.
I enjoy your pearls of wisdom. If I had the time, I'd do it but...

Thanks anyway. Good Luck. :bng:

offcourse there are a lot of people that don't like them some of them have a real opinion some of them are the usual I don't like it because I don't or because I don't like other people doing stuff I won't do.

But at the end of the day I do it for the few that like it and constantly read it and even use it. If u stop doing something you like doing just because some people don't like it well you're the dummy not them.

I know we all do with our spare time what makes us happy and that's it. glad you like it at least. GL

Well, I think it is in the right place. See, I like the board vs board competition aspect. But, I don't come here to talk NFL football, I come here to talk Saints football. In the entire time I have been on B&G, which is getting perilously close to a decade, I have been in the NFL section maybe two or three times, so if you hadn't posted it here, I would have missed it.

Don't feel bad though Don, they don't cry like this when someone announces a Fantasy Football league, so I don't think it is a real and honest objection to a post in the wrong forum (Which could knock the earth out of orbit and send it flying into the sun, or, perhaps not) and more prejudice against a non Saints fan.

I'll send you a PM so I can get in on this. Thanks again.

I'm a new member and I have to say that this is the funniest thread I've read since joining.

Good Luck Don
